as an old Ferrier, late 60's to mid 90's. Has to stop, the knees gave out. Doing Cutting Horses and Arabian Show horses, with a few others tossed in. I give you a 9.7 out of 10 on this one. Excellent work.
@John Parkes In Scottsdale AZ, there is a Ferrier Competition every year. Looking for the best of the best. He only lost points for marring the shoe with his rasp and one for hitting the shoe with his hammer. We had to use brass hammers to avoid hammer marks on the dang show.
Wow, never thought their hooves needed this much maintenance and effort to get one. Props to this guy for all his hard work, and good horse so being so well behaved and patient ^-^
I never really gave any thought to how this happens, but it looks like it really improves the horse’s life and that’s great. Clearly you are very skilled at your profession. Great video.
@@strongholds12 I have absolutely no idea where this random comment came from but there is a roman lesser god also called Lucifer, which means "light bearer", with no relation to Satan besides a shared name.
@@melkor2316 this also another fr33m@$0ntarded lie, that they're not the same and he is not a God sense their is only one, the Creator (Christ the Redeemer).
@@melkor2316 actually christianity picked satan from that god, they needed a anti-god figure to instill fear in people,so they accept Jesus who can save them from satan, Halloween was picked from pagan festivals(celebrated for changing of seasons)
Horses are such marvelous creatures. Imposing, strong, they demand respect. It was thank to them that humanity got to build most of this world. Were it to transport goods or to charge against an enemy, they been one of our greatest allies.
I have a huge respect for farriers, not only are they taking care of the hoof, they are also supporting the weight of the horse. The horse doesn’t shift it’s weight off the leg they’re working on, so the farrier has to support an entire quarter of a horse’s weight. Imagine the back pain.
Wow, this was awesome to watch. I’ve been around horses here and there but i’ve never seen this done. Love watching a craftsman do fine work. And its easy to see that this horse didn’t mind at all. Beautiful work
What a very skilled pro job. The cushion in the middle of the shoe must make the horse fell so much better and attention to detail with making sure the side nails were pushed level and the whole process was a finisher's touch . You don't see that today to much. . And your tools are clean and accessable not on the floor. There are many happy horses because of the way you work .
@@imded5421 you don't need to study for it, except you need to take a lot of fucking time to do some things properly. Studying is not the only way to gain skills
I think its definitely an art. First of all it requires a lot of technique and that is only obtained with years of experience. Also you have to be detailed oriented and a perfectionist. So many steps and skills are involved. I hope the knowledge is passed to the next generations and I also hope it's well paid because is very much labor intensive. I enjoy watching it!!!!
I bet the farm that horse felt 20 lbs lighter!, thank you for the care of those majestic creatures. Videos are soo relaxing to watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon!!! 👍🤙
That shop on a truck set up for your trade is beautiful you are conscientious and precise with your craft and this horse obviously likes your work too. Been since the Rona that my daughter was in her riding therapy and now with my Mom here we can’t get to it. We miss her barn people and those horses so much. I never saw the black insert for showing which is smart and I bet so helpful when the horse is groomed.
When I was very young my neighbor had a little quarter horse named Sabrina. I used to watch when her hoofs were being worked on and she was being shoed. It’s funny that it was 45 years ago and I remembered the sequence as you were doing it. I was thinking “ok now to file “ etc. amazing craft and you are very good at it.
This is honestly fascinating. When I was young I never dreamed I would have sat through something like this but I was oddly mesmerized. It is true, not all heroes wear capes. But serious question, what did they horses do before people started to do this themselves?
Horses need this if they are to walk too much on man made surfaces. Otherwise the friction of natural surfaces was enough to regulate the proper health of leg. And yes, doing it manually is much better than relying on nature.
The word ( WOW ) is nothing against this job , its the first time in my life i see such organized and very clean and professional work ,,, bravo captain
Out of all the videos I've seen if horse shoeing, this one stands out. You take pride in your work. Every move has a purpose also liked the glaze polish highlight you did on the hood it's self lil sand and buff haha
@@georgiykireev9678 So farriers have only been around for about 2000 years but as you were saying horses' feet were being strapped with softer materials for as long as recorded history shows. The earliest forms of metal horseshoes can be found as early as 400BC. This was bronze metal. Most materials used ranged from plants, rawhide and leather strap gears referred to as “hipposandals” by the Romans. In Ancient Asia, horsemen equipped their horses with shoes made out of woven plants.
It's amazing seeing all these farrier channels and noticing how each person has a different way to deal with the hoofs. This guy has to be the ome that mosts protects the sole of the hoof, barely had to do a "clean up" when taking away the first set. But what is that black paste?
hellooo, horse person here. that paste is to fill in the hoof so that when the pad goes on w/ the shoe, bacteria and fungus doesnt start going crazy in the contained space.
Many will agree, hoof restoration with rubber to protect and give cushion is innovative and creative; it's comfortable to the horse as well. This should be widely adopted.
I have no clue how I came across this video when i was searching for audio engineering but I must admit I was glued the entire time... I don't know anything about this proffesion or horses in general but man this was a great watch.. 😂😂👍🏼
I've always wondered at what point can the horse feel what's being done? It's amazing the skill that is required to do this kind of work. And yes, I fully agree, what am amazing horse! Animals are far more intelligent than we often think.
Great video, you clearlycknow your craft! I always wonder how the horse feels. Like does it enjoy it or does it just think "here we go again the hooman wants to oggle my hooves again."
This was mesmerizing to watch. I also would have loved a few captions here and there as to what he was doing. Nothing too involved as I'm sure there's a lot more to explain than captions can accomplish. Just maybe something simple. One thing I wondered is what he was applying on the hoofs at the end.
@@42Keezthanks. I guessed something along those lines as well. But I really didn't want to guess. Which is why I commented that it would be kind of nice if they put a few captions so the viewers don't have to guess.
@@Lex_C si no le ponen herraduras a los caballos y burros, se les parten las pezuñas, aparte de que les crecen mucho. Es como una manicura 💅 para ellos.
That was the best horse pedi I've seen!! File, buff, cuticle oil the works! Now if that blue stuff was red you could call this the Louis Vuitton Restoration hehe #awesomework that horse loves and trusts you #itshows
I'm much more impressed by how calm, intelligent and aware the horse is. The intelligence difference between a cow/horse and most animals is light and dark

Do hooves grow over time? I know it doesn't hurt the horse when you are shaving parts off. But do you have to wait for a new layer to grow before changing the horseshoe? I imagine if you change them to often you will eventually hit a nerve.
Yes the hard part of the hoof is constantly growing just like fingernails. Anatomically the very bottom link of a horse' legs are actually a single fingertip. That is a big part of the reason that they need regular shoe changes, as well as wear and tear.
não, é como se fosse cortar unha, ele não sente nada pois não é "parte do corpo", então ele praticamente nem sente, fora que traz uma qualidade de vida maior pro animal
